Mrs. Schnee's 2nd Grade Star Writers

Mrs. McDonald met with the 2nd grade students in Mrs. Schnee's class after they wrote persuasive letters to the principal arguing for and against the idea of "longer recess". Their arguments were thoughtful, relevant, and convincing and the group consensus was 13-4 in favor of more recess time!

Even though they were quite comfortable, students continued to work hard in their reading groups, writing letters for Wee Deliver, and practicing their math skills while working with partners. Our pajama day was a great way to celebrate all the hard work that happens every day here at Francis Wyman!

HOORAY!

All students & staff are invited to wear their comfy pajamas to school on Friday, 2/5/2016!
